House, 5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 8) or just perfect for 2 people.

Please read all of this to the end..... Just ask our friends, family, and renters and they will all tell you that Graywoods is the perfect house, with the perfect location (1 mile from Bath), with the perfect opportunities for you to enjoy a fabulous vacation, ANY TIME OF THE YEAR!!!

The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. One of the bedrooms and bathrooms is on the ground floor which is perfect for those who might have difficulty navigating stairs. 3 of the 4 bedrooms upstairs have glorious water views.

The main floor is open space with a dining room table that can easily seat 14 and two "living areas" one of which has a lovely wood burning fireplace.

The screened in porch and deck serve as more living space with a grill, hot tub, and comfy porch furniture for relaxation and conversation.

The grounds/lawn/garden are expansive and very guest friendly. A simple tree swing has been enjoyed for many years by children of all ages. Cornball is also a lively option. Of course within a 5 mile area, one finds tennis courts, golf courses, and a vibrant YMCA.

A very short walk on a forest path takes you to our dock where you will find two paddle boards, two kayaks, and a canoe. The dock comes in during the winter but "the fleet" remains always accessible. 10 foot tides provide incredible opportunities to explore our bay.

Finally, Graywoods is our family house. Our kitchen is fully equipped (Viking 6 burner stove, double wall ovens, commercial ice machine, warming drawer and all the utensils and machines you could possibly use) to help you to prepare delicious meals. Don't worry about bringing spices, condiments etc as you will find most of them waiting for you.

Linens and towels are all monogrammed and beautiful.

There is a treasure chest of games, toys for children of all ages, and books that will offer you opportunities to relax like you haven't been able to do for many years!

We have lived in many places and our furniture and art all reflect the full lives we have been privileged to lead.

There is still one thing that makes Graywoods special and different from almost any other rental - OUR EAGLES

Just off our deck and with no need for binoculars is our eagle's nest and it is HUGE. This year we had two babies hatched on May 1 and taking their first flight on July 4th!! Although they have left their nest, parents and babes return daily for old times' sake. What a privilege this is.....

If you have ANY questions, just send them on or call at 207-233-9120. We care about Graywoods and rent it not just for the $$$$ but really because it is so very special that we want to share it with you particularly as we have lived in it during all four of the seasons. It rocks! Hugh and Judy

About Judy and Hugh Tilson

We are a happily retired couple with 4 grown kids and 11 grandchildren. Our professional lives have required travel worldwide and while we continue to travel, Graywoods is our favorite place to be although we do divide our time between Chapel Hill and Maine. We love answering questions from our renters!

Judy and Hugh Tilson purchased this House in 1991

Why Judy and Hugh Tilson chose Woolwich

We chose to buy a family home in this location as it is within walking distance to Bath and has a view that simply does not end. We only started renting the house when our children were not able to use it. This house is too special not to share and when purchased was never intended to be a rental.

What makes this House unique

This is a special place. The dining room table seats fourteen and is the starting point for many wonderful conversations. The house is about being! Outside there are lovely gardens and a walk through the woods to a dock with great boating and swimming - when the tide is right! The city of Bath, Maine is within walking distance and you get to walk right by the Dairy Queen to get there. There are so many wonderful things to do here.

We have spent our New Year's vacation at this magical house, and can not speak more highly about the accommodations and the location. The house is so cozy, the beds are extremely comfortable and have the most elegant bedding along with them. The kitchen has the top notch chef quality stove, oven and any kitchen equipment to prepare a big family meal you can wish for. But what struck us most was the amazing landscape surrounding the house, the views of the river during the sunset or the sunrise would take our breath away. The hot tub waiting for us to relax in every evening was a much welcomed bonus 😊� We can not wait to spend another vacation at this wonderful place.

We love it when we can share our wonderful house with those who also love it. Although the weather was bitterly cold, the house was warm and welcoming. One day we would like to meet this lovely family that greeted the new year at Graywoods!

A very welcoming, homey vacation destination! Breathtaking views! A fabulous well stocked home.

We had four generations of family at this incredible property! Plenty of room for everyone... Perhaps my favorite part of our experience, besides cooking in the well equipped gourmet kitchen, was the whole family being able to sit at the enormous farm table in the dining area! Great house! Beautiful setting and landscape... Hope to come back again! JD

The home was exactly what we were looking for. Relaxing, cozy and fun. Very secluded yet close to a lot of amentities and restaurants. We went in early October and were able to enjoy the kayaks and hot tubs. We cooked most nights but went to dinner at Taste of Maine the last evening. We also did some hiking which was about 25 minutes away. The house was comfortable. Plenty of space and comfy beds. The hosts were amazing. Responsive and inviting. Absolutely loved it and would stay here again!!

Our own family loves our time at Graywoods together and it is so important that when other family and friends come to 23 Reed Road that they have the same experience. Thanks so much for the kind words and we look forward to your return visit. Hugh and Judy

Loved everything about the place! The location, the peacefulness, the neighbors, and the house!

We come to Maine every year to visit with family in central part of Maine. Our aunt loves the ocean so we take her to stay by the ocean for a few days. This year we searched really hard for the perfect house that was close to the ocean, but also where it was quiet and peaceful. Graywoods was all that and so much more! The house is so spacious and with 7 people we were able to spread out and have our own space. The 4 bedrooms upstairs were very spacious and the twin beds downstairs was perfect for Mom and her sister. The dining room with the huge table was where we spent most nights playing games and the days were spent relaxing outside watching the eagles. It’s definitely a place we would love to come back to. The owners were very nice and so helpful with anything we needed.

My family had an unbelievable time at Graywoods! It seemed to have a true family home feeling in a very picturesque setting perched on a beautiful waterfront who could ask for more? The house had an off the beaten path feeling and felt so peaceful and quiet. Yet we found it very walkable to Bath's main center where there were so many shops and restaurants to explore.

We found the house very well stocked with cooking tools, endless towels, and so many extras. Judy gave us so many recommendations on local things to do that we would have never found on our own. Yet we could have stayed at the house the whole time and found so much to do. Watching the bald eagles that were nesting on the property was a truly magical experience and we can't wait to come back again!

Owner's Response:

WE loved having this dear family. They would not recognize the eagles now as they are flapping their wings and starting to hop around the branches.

Thanks for the kind words. Hugh and Judy

Another great visit to Greywoods!

We had a lovely stay at Judy's home in November. It was even better than we remembered it! The eagles nest was so close to the house that we did not even need the binoculars. We spent lots of time enjoying the hot tub and big deck overlooking the water. The wood burning fireplace kept us all cozy and warm. We especially enjoyed the big dining room table where we had Thanksgiving dinner and played games. As for activities close by, we spent each day hiking and sight seeing. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful Maine home.

Owner's Response:

Thanksgiving at Graywoods is really special. The kitchen works so well as the center of activity and then the wonderful dining room table serves as a setting for many terrific meals and conversations.

Thanks to the eagles for their performances and we always like to welcome back our friends. So glad your visit went well. Judy and, of course, Hugh
